Hall Eliminates Ho

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Maria Ho - Eliminated
Maria Ho - Eliminated

Just before the break, Maria Ho was all in for her tournament life of about 110,000 against Thomas Hall. Ho tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and was racing with Hall's {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came down {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, keeping Hall in the lead with his eights and leaving Ho searching to pair one of her cards. The {6-Spades} fell on fourth street, leaving Ho looking for either an ace or a queen on the river. It was not meant to be, however, as the {3-Diamonds} fell on the river and eliminated Ho from play. Hall dragged in the pot and now sits on about 430,000.

Max Greenwood has been nursing a short stack for most of the day, but the hit he just took put him in even bigger problems.

Alex Bilokur ended up all in for just 80,000 chips and Greenwood had him covered by 33,000.

Bilokur: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Greenwood: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Bilokur doubled up. Greenwood is now the shortest stack in the tournament.

Broadway Blues

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Matt Stout
Matt Stout

During one of the first hands of Level 18, Erik Olofsson was all in and at risk for 121,000 holding {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. He was racing against Matt Stout, who held {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, and the {j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop gave him a set of queens.

The {7-Diamonds} on the turn was a big red brick, leaving Olofsson one card away from elimination, but the {10-Clubs} slammed on the river to give him Broadway.

Stout shot back in his chair as if he'd received an electric shock, but collected himself quickly and sent a tower of blue T5,000 chips to his neighbor.

Max Greenwood Doubles Through Rudi Johnsen

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Max Greenwood was all in and at risk before the flop for his last 78,000 against Rudi Johnsen. Greenwood held {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and was looking for help against Johnsen's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

The {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Greenwood four to a flush and hope to stay alive in the tournament. Fourth street was the {A-Spades}, pairing Greenwoods ace and vaulting him into the lead. The two watched as the {Q-Clubs} rolled off on the river, ensuring that Greenwood would stay alive.

He's now sitting on 165,000 in chips while Johnsen has fallen to 220,000.
